Valuations & Professional Services
Valuations are an essential part of informing property stakeholders before embarking on many important business decisions. The ever-evolving property market has broadened the demand for valuation services from the more traditional aspects of supporting secured lending, fund performance and market transactions to the increasing requirement for valuations for financial and regulatory purposes. Our team of fully qualified and registered valuers provides credible opinions and stride towards delivering valuations of the highest professional standard that comply with current regulations and are informative and legible. We provide an array of valuation services across the principal sectors of the commercial property market to a diverse client base that includes public sector bodies, institutional investors, banks, corporate and institutional organisations, property owners and occupiers, developers and private individuals.
